Big East OOC 2.0

[auror]

46-20 (8-14).

Nova, DePaul, and Xavier all lose.

Nova may not be a tourney team.

If Whitemore plays soon and they play well and finish top 4 in Big East, they'll get an injury credit.

 

[Blue Idiaco]

How many OOC top 20 wins will BE get this year? And they may only have two teams in the top 20 in conference. Gonna be tough to get more than 3 bids?

 

[SoFla Steve]

Iowa State knocks off #1 UNC 70-65 !!!!

 

[Blue Idiaco]

Iowa St is #42 in KenPom. UNC is now 21.

 

[shizzle787]

47-22 (9-16).

UConn wins; Seton Hall and Butler lose.

Bad day for the league.

 

[shizzle787]

50-22 (9-16).

St. John's, Georgetown, and Providence all take care of business.

 

[shizzle787]

51-22 (9-16).

Marquette wins.

 

[auror]

Xavier Gonzaga is the last chance for Xavier to get a marquee top 25 win in nonconf.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

So…three of Oregon’s starters are out today and a total of six scholarship players are healthy. Walk-on Gabe Reichel started.

Couldn’t be any clearer that this is a must-win for Nova, but Nova down 23-13 with 9 to go in the 1st.

 

[auror]

If Nova loses today Wright probably comes out of retirement.

 

[How Sway?!]

Are Nova fans turning on their coach yet?

 

[Chin Diesel]

Are Nova fans turning on their coach yet?

They are learning what every fan base learns after a massively successful college basketball coach leaves. By the time of change it's more about the coach than the name on front of the jersey or the names on the back of the jerseys.

Hoping that Duke is not immune to that transition too.

They'll find out. Some find out quicker than others.

Torn between wanting Oregon to win so that W looks better and hope Nova turns it around in conference play, and wanting Nova and the BE to win today..

Neptune looks helpless as HC. Villanova can't let him burn too much time "learning on the job" before making a move.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Oregon beats Villanova

 

[REB1094]

Oregon takes it over Nova 74-67. Will Richardson took over late - within the last 2 minutes he had a free throw to go up 1, a layup to go up 3, and a jumper to go up 5 on back-to-back-to-back possessions

Announcer said that Oregon played this game with just SIX scholarship players

Villanova drops to 0-3 at PK85 to take 8th place, and 2-5 overall.

 

[scotty0330]

Neptune is doing his best Ollie impression. 2-5…I know he is down his two best players but even against cupcakes nova as looked shaky at best and overwhelmed at worst

 

[shizzle787]

51-23 (9-17).

Nova loses to Oregon.

Nova is responsible for more than 20% of the league's losses but only 4% of the league's wins.

Sucks but not surprising with new coach and injuries. They’ve held the conf up over the last decade though so they get some patience in terms of impact on conference metrics.

Sometimes (cough … Syracuse … cough) they find out before the coach leaves.

I think they're finding out right now.

Ollie won a natty before driving the program into the mud, Neptune is doing this with an inherited Final Four side. Impressive, really.

Can we make it one thread without some idiot taking a swipe at Ollie? He won a national championship.

Neptune is over is head and must be in the depths of depression.

 

[jibsey]

No love for Cuse but they lose early many years and still make the tourney. Maybe Nova comes back it's November.

 

[KingAG]

What is SH doing. UConn and Creighton have a lot of weight to carry this season

 

[Friarsnoop]

I always look for bad losses early in the season. Villanova has 2 and Georgetown has 2 or 3 (Northwestern). That's basically it for the conference.

I guess. But the conference is incredibly top heavy so far. Creighton and UConn are solidly top 12 teams. Everyone else maybe outside of Xavier are…meh
